Many air conditioning systems are reversible: the same unit cools in summer and heats in winter, but not every unit does both, so say which you want when you ask for quotes.

Why people in Wandsworth are fitting air conditioning
Cooler in hot weather
Air conditioning takes heat out of a room, which helps on the warmest days, in south-facing rooms and in loft bedrooms.
Heating in winter too
Many systems are reversible, so the same unit that cools in summer can heat the room in winter. Not every unit does, so ask for a reversible one.
Better sleep
A cooler bedroom can make it easier to sleep through a hot night.
Comfort for home working
Control the temperature of a home office or a room you use all day, without heating or cooling the whole house.
Fitted and checked properly
Systems contain refrigerant, so installers need F-gas qualifications. A good installer also commissions the system and shows you how to use it.
Compare before you commit
Up to 3 written quotes let you compare the system, the number of units, the work involved, the warranty and the aftercare, not just the price.
Choosing an air conditioning installer in Wandsworth
Say which rooms you want to cool or heat and whether you want a single unit or a multi-room system. Ask the installer to explain where the indoor and outdoor units will go, how the pipework, drainage and electrics will be routed, and how noisy the outdoor unit will be.
Ask to see the installer’s F-gas qualification, and whether they work under a Building Regulations competent person scheme. If you rent or own a flat, check your lease or ask your landlord or freeholder before anything is fixed to the outside. Planning rules differ by nation, so check with Wandsworth Council if your home is in a conservation area or is listed.

Air conditioning questions in Wandsworth
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Wandsworth?
In England, the Planning Portal says permitted development rights for home air conditioning apply to systems with a heating function, within size and position limits, while cooling-only units need a planning application. The government has also said that in most cases a small home unit that does not materially affect the outside appearance does not need permission. Conservation areas and listed buildings have extra rules, so check with Wandsworth Council.
What if the unit is too noisy for my neighbours in Wandsworth?
Councils in England can investigate noise from air conditioning as a possible statutory nuisance, judged case by case. Talk to your neighbour first, keep the unit maintained, and ask your installer about the unit’s position and noise. Wandsworth Council can advise.
Can air conditioning heat as well as cool?
Many systems are reversible, so the same unit can cool in summer and heat in winter, but not every unit does both. Tell the installer you want heating and cooling when you ask for quotes.
Who is allowed to install air conditioning?
Anyone fitting systems that contain refrigerant needs F-gas qualifications, and a company working on equipment owned by others needs certification (GOV.UK). Ask to see the certificate before you accept a quote.
What should an air conditioning quote include?
Ask for the units and where they will go, the pipework, drainage and electrical work, making good, commissioning, warranty terms and aftercare to be clearly listed.
Will you give me a price on this page?
No. The price depends on your home, the number of rooms and the system, so compare up to 3 written quotes.
